Cindy is such a flirt.

[bbfan1991]

I like the dynamic of the Roscoe family, natural chemistry there already.

[Black Dagger]

Aye. I'm liking them.

Gillian is alright as well, I can warm to her in this, it's not like she put me off liking her in CBB, she was just very dull.

'Hollyoaks' Jennifer Metcalfe: 'I've never had stick for Mercedes role'

Hollyoaks star Jennifer Metcalfe has revealed she has never had a hard time for playing fiery Mercedes McQueen.

The actress, who has been in the soap for seven years, believes that the viewers see the softer side to her alter ego.



She told The Mirror: "Some of the nasty characters in soaps get such a lot of stick from the public, but I never have.

"I've kind of tried to create a character that everyone loves to hate, so they see a softer side as well and I feel quite proud of that. It is great to go in and act Mercedes every day."

Metcalfe, who recently spoke out about her relationship with former Geordie Shore star Greg Lake, also admitted that there is no pressure in Hollyoaks to look a certain way.

She said: "There is no pressure in Hollyoaks at all. You have got every body shape there - curvy, thin, big boobs, big bum, auburn hair - you have got everything. It's the full mix."



Metcalfe continued: "I have put on half a stone since Christmas and for how much fun I have had in those five months, it has been worth every pound.

"There isn't anything defining sexy, as long as you feel comfortable in your own skin you are sexy in your own right."

It was recently announced that Metcalfe had signed a new contract, meaning she will be in Hollyoaks for at least another year.

I love Mercedes, her character has been revitalised and Jennifer Metcalfe does a great job playing her marmite character.

'Hollyoaks' Kevin Sacre wants return: 'I've barely watched it though'

Ex-Hollyoaks star Kevin Sacre has told Digital Spy he would like to return as Jake Dean, even though he "wouldn't recognise half the characters" currently on the soap.

The actor, who left the Channel 4 show in 2010 after eight years, said he is more open to making a comeback following the returns of old co-stars James Sutton (John Paul McQueen) and Gemma Bissix (Clare Devine), as well as producer Bryan Kirkwood.





"I haven't seen [Hollyoaks] in so long," he said. "This sounds bad, but I barely watched it when I was in it. I wouldn't even recognise half the characters now.

"I know James [Sutton] has gone back and Gemma Bissix is dipping in and out, so it must be good. I dunno, maybe Jake should go back."

He continued: "I would go back if the story was right, especially because Bryan Kirkwood's back there now. Some of my mates are back now too."

Sacre added that he is "so proud" of his former Hollyoaks colleague Chris Fountain, who played Jake's love rival Justin Burton before appearing in Coronation Street as Tommy Duckworth.



"Chris is doing fab. I'm so proud of seeing where Chris has gone from the actor he was when he first started," Sacre said. "Boy done good. He's a good lad."

The star went on to comment that he has respect for Fountain's impressive physique, especially since he always hated showing off his own body in nude shoots.

"He's ripped now, when did that happen?" he commented. "I hated [the Hollyoaks photoshoots]. They never helped me, they were more of a hindrance.

"I did one and I hated every second of it. Standing next to guys with eight packs, who haven't got an ounce of fat on them, I was like, 'I'm just going to go and kill myself now'."

'Hollyoaks' Ayden Callaghan: 'Joe Roscoe has dark past'

Hollyoaks newcomer Ayden Callaghan has revealed that his character Joe Roscoe has a "dark past".

The former Emmerdale actor made his first appearance as Joe this week as the full Roscoe family finally moved into the village.



As the eldest of the five Roscoe brothers, Joe has been billed as the patriarch of the family who always looks out for his siblings and has "old-fashioned values".

However, teasing his role in an interview with Buckingham Today, Callaghan said: "It's a great character, I'm really chuffed. He's the alpha male, there's no nonsense with him at all.

"He's a guy who's full of love and passion, but there is another side to him. There is a dark past there that he's trying to subdue."

Viewers will also be introduced to Joe's fiancée Lindsey Butterfield, played by Sophie Austin, in early June.

Tony’s hospital drama

Tony Hutchinson is dealt so more bad news when doctors admit he faces a tough battle to beat cancer.

The Hollyoaks businessman has testicular cancer but even after he has his testicle removed he’s told he faces further treatment.

His ex Cindy Cunningham shows up to lend her support.

Nick Pickard, who plays Tony, told Soaplife: "She turns up at the hospital just after Tony’s had his testicle removed and says to him, ’Why didn’t you tell me you were having this done?’

"But then after five minutes she’s talking about herself. That’s quite refreshing because with Darren, he talks about the seriousness of his illness. Cindy’s a bit of light relief."

Me and Ste end up in a world of trouble!

Hollyoaks’ Charlie Clapham predicts chaos

Hollyoaks fans have already seen Ste Hay join forces with local drug dealer Freddie Roscoe.

Now it seems there are worse things to come!

Charlie Clapham, who plays Freddie, has teased some juicy stuff coming up between the pair.

He told SoapSquawk: "Me and Ste end up getting into a world of trouble together.

"Quite frankly I didn’t think I would end up in some of the situations I end up in with that lad.

"But I have and I can’t tell you what it is.

"Tune in though, it’s brilliant!"

We’ll take down the Roscoes!

Jennifer Metcalfe expects war between the two families

When bosses announced there was a new family of five fellas moving into Chester comparisons to the McQueens quickly followed.

The Roscoes were branded the ’male McQueens’ as insiders predicted trouble.

It seems that’s exactly what’s going to happen because Jennifer Metcalfe, who plays Mercedes McQueen, says they are no match for her clan.
And she’s ready to take them all on.



She told SoapSquawk: "Everyone reckons the Roscoes are the male McQueens, the challenge is there already.

"They are brilliant but it’s going to be girls versus boys and we’ll knock them down a peg or two!

"From what we’ve seen so far they look really good, but we’re not going to big them up too much because they’re our competitors!

"We’ll set Nana McQueen on them, she’ll sort them out!"

Jennifer, who recently signed a new contract that’ll keep her in Chester for another year, also confessed that there is plenty of drama coming up for her family.

She explained: "Now Bryan Kirkwood’s back there is loads of stuff coming up for the McQueens.

"He was the one who created the family, he brought us in so he’s very McQueen orientated.

"Bryan knows the family inside out, so there’s going to be loads of good stuff coming up."

'Hollyoaks': Bad boy Trevor returns in Ste drugs storyline

Hollyoaks villain Trevor Royle returns to screens next week as he is revealed as Freddie Roscoe's drugs supplier.

Trevor, played by Greg Wood, was last seen in April as his dangerous presence contributed towards Jacqui McQueen's emotional departure from the village.



Trevor is now expected to feature more prominently in the show. Viewers are reintroduced to him as the ongoing drugs storyline with Ste Hay (Kieron Richardson) and the Roscoes intensifies.

Ste thinks he's on to a winner as he arranges for his drugs to be delivered with pizzas as a handy disguise. However, when his careful plans start to go awry, Freddie (Charlie Clapham) is far from impressed and refuses to keep supplying Ste.

Fortunately for Ste, he now has his new flatmate Sinead O'Connor (Stephanie Davis) as a helper. Sinead manages to distract Freddie's attention at the pub and swipes his phone, hoping to help Ste cut out the middle man by getting a meeting with Freddie's supplier.



When Ste sets off to meet Trevor, he is left disappointed as the bad boy refuses to supply him. However, Trevor is growing frustrated over Freddie and later decides that he can make some use of Ste after all - ordering him to teach Freddie a lesson.

As Ste approaches Freddie with a metal pole ready to strike, will he take another step back towards the dark side?

Meanwhile, Sinead is also finding herself on a dark path as she starts selling pills for Ste.

Sinead is enjoying the opportunity to make some extra cash, but things soon go wrong for her too when she is vengefully attacked by a student she sold a dodgy pill to.

Hollyoaks is more vibrant than Emmerdale

Ayden Callaghan compares the soaps

Ayden Callaghan may have just joined Hollyoaks but he’s not a novice when it comes to working in soapland.

Some fans may recognise him from his Emmerdale days playing Miles De Souza.

Now he’s got his feet firmly under the Hollyoaks table as the head of the Roscoe brothers, we couldn’t help but wonder how the two soaps compare.

Ayden, who plays Joe Roscoe, told SoapSquawk: "They are both great places to work.

"Emmerdale was a fun place, it’s an older cast so the atmosphere is slightly quieter, whereas Hollyoaks is a really vibrant place to be.

"I enjoyed my time on Emmerdale, but Hollyoaks is my favourite place that I’ve worked."

He added: "I’ve got a great group of guys I’m working with, the other Roscoe brothers are great, and the character is great, I enjoy it more than my character in Emmerdale.

“I’ve got stuff coming up that I can sink my teeth into, stuff that I didn’t really get to explore in Emmerdale.

“That’s not to say I never will because Miles De Souza is still alive somewhere, so never say never!"

He is so right. Hollyoaks sounds like such a fun place to work and the cast get on so well!
